This well-preserved copy of “Oklahoma’s Forgotten Indians” by H. Glenn Jordan offers a compelling glimpse into the often-overlooked histories of the indigenous tribes of Oklahoma. Published in 1981, this work sheds light on the rich cultural tapestry of the region, weaving together narratives that had long been relegated to the margins. Jordan’s meticulous research and engaging prose breathe life into the stories of tribes like the Caddo, Wichita, and Delaware, whose contributions to the fabric of Oklahoma have been overshadowed by more widely known groups.

Beyond its historical significance, this book holds particular value for collectors and readers interested in the intersection of Native American studies and regional history. Jordan’s nuanced exploration of the complex relationships between these tribes and their more prominent neighbors, such as the Cherokee and Choctaw, provides a unique perspective on the intricate dynamics of cultural exchange and adaptation. Additionally, the book’s examination of the enduring legacies of these often-forgotten peoples offers a poignant reminder of the resilience and perseverance that have characterized the Native American experience.
